Speaking to PSM3 magazine (via CVG), Mikami -- who, in addition to creating the Resident Evil series, also worked on the Devil May Cry and Viewtiful Joe series -- said he's still not interested in what motion controls currently have to offer. "I don't think motion controls will be in the gaming mainstream in the next ten years," Mikami explained. "When the technology gets to the point where you can just flick your eyeballs around and the computer can pick it up, you won't need a controller anymore. Obviously it's going to take a while to get there."

"Given the great success which led to us Resident Evil 5, we want Resident Evil 6 to hit the market as soon as possible," Inafune said. "In fact, Capcom will have news about this soon..." If that's in fact the case, it seems likely we may hear something at Tokyo Game Show, which kicks off on September 16. It's a venue big enough to seem appropriate for the first Resident Evil 6 announcement, and there's really no other big gaming event taking place any time soon after that.

The original Super Mario Bros. was first released in 1985. This is meaningful to you because it would make 2010 the 25th anniversary of the series, and that has apparently compelled Nintendo to celebrate by readying a revival of Super Mario All-Stars for the Wii...at least in Japan.

Andriasang reports that Nintendo held a retailer briefing in Japan recently, with news leaking out that they plan to release "Super Mario Collection Special Pack" on the Wii on October 21. Presumably this will include the same compilation of Mario games -- 1, 2, 3, and "Lost Levels" -- as Super Mario All-Stars did for the SNES, which was, indeed, originally called Super Mario Collection in Japan. But the "Special Pack" part refers to a bonus item called "Super Mario History 1985 - 2010." This includes a booklet covering the history of the Mario series over the past 25 years with never-before-seen development material, and a soundtrack CD with music from the series spanning from the first game all the way up to Super Mario Galaxy 2.

At Sony's IFA 2010 press event in Berlin this morning, Sony clarified yesterday's rumor by announcing that its cloud-based digital music and video service Qriocity will be expanding to the PlayStation 3 and PSP later this year.

Both the first Puzzle Quest and its less popular follow-up Galactrix appeared on the PSP, so it was only a matter of time before Infinite Interactive made the transition with this one as well. If you haven't picked up the game on the Xbox 360 or DS yet, check out our review for an idea of what's in store when you grab the PSP version.

"Madden NFL 11 is the number one selling game in August, and the game has created enormous enthusiasm in the online community," said EA Sports president Peter Moore in the statement. "Each day on consoles, fans are playing as many games online as the equivalent of 750 full NFL seasons."
